If all goes well, ideally, we should see the mailbox status screen showing 'running', or we should see the system clock is our of sync message. Either way this situation should be handled gracefully.

This is a valid test because the clock could potentially get reset if the device battery gets completely out of charge... I have regularly seen the the system clock gets reset if a device battery gets flat - but I have not seen the clock moving to the future, only ever ito the past. However,this test aims to cover this requirement https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-mailbox/-/issues/132 and as such it is a valid test

This is a valid test because the clock could potentially get reset if the device battery gets completely out of charge... which is not such a corner case, as i have seen it happening quite often when I don't use devices for some time and their batteries get flat before I start using them again.
